Inventory & Purchasing Hub
Stock decisions go wrong quietly: something runs out mid-service because nobody reviewed the register. This hub makes the review a habit.

OPERATIONS / HUB
Inventory & Purchasing Hub: Stonemill Bakehouse
One page for the weekly purchasing review: what's low, what's on order, what arrived, and what needs a decision. Nothing here is monitored automatically — this page is only as honest as the register behind it, so review it and update it.
Items needing attention
Item | On hand | Reorder point | Move |
|---|---|---|---|
Bread flour (25kg) | 3 bags | 5 bags | Reorder — 2 of 10 bags still short from PO-2041 |
Espresso cups (case of 24) | 19 | 24 | Received short-damaged; count damaged units in storage |
Butter (1kg blocks) | 26 | 10 | Healthy — no action |
Purchase decisions this week
Chase Kestrel Milling on the 2 outstanding flour bags (backordered since October 2).
Decide whether to reorder cups now or wait for the damaged-case count.
Purchase orders in flight
PO | Supplier | Sent | Expected | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
PO-2041 | Kestrel Milling | September 30, 2026 | October 8, 2026 | Partially received — 2 bags backordered |
Recently received
October 2: flour delivery inspected by Ola Mensah — 8 of 10 bags received, condition good; 2 backordered. Cup case arrived with 2 damaged units, noted in the receiving record. Stock quantities updated by hand after inspection.
Discrepancies needing follow-up
Flour: 2 bags outstanding from PO-2041 — confirm replacement ship date with Kestrel.
Cups: 2 damaged in transit — request credit or replacement on the next order.
Preferred suppliers
Supplier | For | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
Kestrel Milling | Flour and grains | 3–4 business days |
Dunmore Dairy | Butter and cream | Next morning |
Count/update reminders
Recount the damaged cup case before crediting
Weekly walk-in count every Friday morning
Update On hand for every received line the same day it's inspected
Where the detail lives
Items, counts, reorder points, and suppliers — Inventory Register (Sheets)
Supplier contacts, lead times, and terms — Supplier Notes (Docs)
What we ordered and at what price — Purchase Order (Docs)
What actually arrived, short or damaged — Receiving & Discrepancy Record (Docs)
Review items at or below their reorder point yourself — ZuffSuite doesn't monitor stock, pick suppliers, or place orders. When a delivery arrives, receive and inspect it, then update On hand by hand.
